Hello!

[antoniojf]

Hi all,

I rescued three baby garter snakes 4 days ago after their mother was killed by the gardener at my apartments. My friend and I managed to pull them out of the dead mother along with 6 other live garters. We released the other 6 into a park next to our apartments and I took three of them to take care of them. Their names are Emperor Augustus, Robert Zimmerman, and Hemingway.

here's a quick video

Good save! Not many people could muster up the stomach to extract those babies.

at least only 1 life was lost, not 10:D
